Welcome to the 7/8ths Gazette e-Zine.

The 7/8ths Gazette evolved from the orignal e-Zine "The RustyBolt". Today the Se-Zine is a Narrow Gauge Madness production whose theme is based around 32mm and 45mm gauge track. Today it is an online e-zine in which new articles are submitted and archived discussions from the SE Lounge are published. The 7/8ths Gazette is centered around SE Scale in which model trains are built to a scale of 7/8"=1'-0" or 1:13.7. Standard G guage (45mm) (Gauge 1) track is used to represent Two Foot guage in reality. For those modeling 18" gauge in reality O gauge (32mm) track is used.

The only area of the site where other scales are discussed is within the editorial section. Here we may discuss various scales that all tie into Narrow Gauge modeling of trains running on Two Foot or less rail gauges. Below is a list of some of the scales that may be discussed.

  • GN15 1:22.5-1:29
  • LGB 1:22.5 - 1:25
  • Fn2 1:20.3
  • Sm32 16MM 1:19.01
  • 3/4" 1:16
  • SE 7/8" 1:13.7
  • 1/12th 1:12
  • 30MM 1:10
  • 36MM 1:8
